Q: Vsah from Ann Arbor, MI asks:
Good afternoon Jim, do you know the status of Chicago Cubs RHP Ben Christensen, as well as White Sox RHP Jon Rauch? I've heard both are ahead of schedule in their respective rehab stints, can you confirm?

A: Jim: From what I've heard, both are looking good and will be 100 percent by spring training. I think we could see both in the majors in 2002.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Jim Callis knows a bit more than some TSN beat writer.

and plus, I saw Rauch throwing on the side (although admittedly, not from the mound)
